To keep up to date with the latest (and greatest!) Prosody releases, we recommend that you also add our repository, as distributions may lag behind the latest version a bit. The repository also has nightly builds of active branches.

Fedora

From Fedora 16 onwards Prosody is available to install via yum, simply run as root:

Source code

Please note that while the latest source may contain new and exciting features, it is not always stable and production ready. If you find any anomalies please submit your bug reports or bug fixes after reading the instructions here.
Thank you.

Nightly builds

Nightly builds are available for all active branches, see Prosody nightly builds for more information. Currently the builds only have packages for Debian and Ubuntu.

Windows

⚠️ Windows support has been deprecated. Downloads are no longer available.

FAQ

We don't have the resources (in the form of developer time) to maintain a Windows version.

The last version before support was dropped has unresolved security issues.

Next steps

Hopefully you now have a server up and running. The next step is to configure it, the only thing you are required to do is to tell the server what hosts you want Prosody to serve, see Adding a Host for more info.

Finally you will want to create yourself and any other users accounts. For the various ways of doing so, see our Creating Accounts article.
